SW 2006 and XP Pro SP1

I would just get a single extra hard drive, and load up the XP Pro SP1 and a copy of SWks 2006 and do a test run for awhile to check it out under your conditions.

I'm using XP Pro SP1 and SW2006 SP0 on this computer. No problems found during the past 4 months or so. I aviod all Microsoft patches. I haven't installed one in over 12 months.

Yer a zombie waiting to happen.

If you're going to use their "OS" at least try and keep patched.

....Of course....I did get completely screwed by MS on the win2k-SP4-rollup1 update on our domain controller....it completely broke samba-winbind functionallity. Spent 2-3 hours rolling back and then installing SP4.

So....maybe you ARE better off.

I use both 2KSP1 or so and XPProSP2, and just simply made the decision that those computers will NOT ever go online. I don't have the time to constantly deal with the crap that comes with Windows online.

Any data moving in or out of my Wintel boxes goes to my Mac directly, & not on a network, before any data goes on the Internet.

Yeah, that doesn't work well with a large group, but Wintel sure does run better that way.

Well where I work we're all using SW2004 initial release on XPsp2 with all the MS patches and it works fine - despite it not being officially supported until SW2004sp5.
